What is the maximum number of records that can be retrieved from a .csv using Cognos ReportStudio. <br />
<br />
Is there a limit? &nbsp;If not, what is the max number of row count or file size have you worked with?<br />
<br />
Have you had any issues with the ODBC that connects to flat files?<br />
<br />
